Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pixel comprising:
 a pixel circuit located in a display area; and   a light-emitting diode electrically connected to the pixel circuit,   wherein the pixel circuit comprises:   a first transistor comprising a first terminal configured to receive a driving voltage, a second terminal connected to the light-emitting diode, and a gate terminal connected to a node;   a second transistor comprising a first terminal configured to receive a data voltage, a second terminal connected to the node, and a gate terminal configured to receive a scan signal;   a third transistor comprising a first terminal configured to receive an initialization voltage, a second terminal connected to the light-emitting diode, and a gate terminal configured to receive a sensing signal; and   a fourth transistor comprising a first terminal configured to receive a scan clock signal, a second terminal connected to the gate terminal of the second transistor, and a gate terminal configured to receive a voltage of a Q node, and   wherein the scan clock signal, a sensing clock signal, and the voltage of the Q node are received from a scan driver located in a non-display area surrounding the display area.   
     
     
         2 . The pixel of  claim 1 , wherein the fourth transistor is configured to output the scan signal that corresponds to the scan clock signal in response to the voltage of the Q node. 
     
     
         3 . The pixel of  claim 2 , wherein the second terminal of the fourth transistor is directly connected to the gate terminal of the second transistor. 
     
     
         4 . The pixel of  claim 1 , wherein the pixel circuit further comprises a fifth transistor comprising a first terminal configured to receive the sensing clock signal, a second terminal connected to the gate terminal of the third transistor, and a gate terminal configured to receive the voltage of the Q node. 
     
     
         5 . The pixel of  claim 4 , wherein the fifth transistor is configured to output the sensing signal that corresponds to the sensing clock signal in response to the voltage of the Q node. 
     
     
         6 . The pixel of  claim 5 , wherein the second terminal of the fifth transistor is directly connected to the gate terminal of the third transistor.
